Everything they've done is on-grade level.  The things you mentioned about AAP used to be GenEd.  At a recent kid event, a parent pulled me aside and asked if I too was underwhelmed by what AAP was doing.  I was surprised, because I don't know her, but it seems the parents of students in my DC's cohort aren't impressed, and I think with good reason.  For example, knowing multiplication math facts cold by end of third grade isn't something that AAP should hang its hat on.  That used to be expected of GenEd 3rd graders too, but apparently that's not universally (?) true any more.  Certainly isn't true at our base.[/quote]

PP here - I agree with you as I often feel that AAP resembles school back when I went. I've noticed quite a downturn in our base. Things were whittled away from year to year. My younger one didn't have to do many of the things my older one did. However, it depends on the school. Some body's gen Ed is another's AAP.[/quote]

And therein lies the rub.  It seems as though at some schools that things are backsliding.  I don't blame the teachers individually.  It is an FCPS organizational issue.  I don't mind supplementing at home, but when I see the basics not being addressed with any rigor in school, I get very annoyed.  [/quote]
